couldn't 'God' write a better book than The Bible?

Answer 1

When a question like this pops up, they will say "it was written by man not God"

but when they want to preach verses to us, they say "it's the word of God"

Very convenient how it can switch back and forth...

Answer 2

Actually God did write a better book than the bible, which is the Korahn and the Torah. Actually the Bible is the bomb, it was just picked over and rewritten by man to fool people, especially about America and America's last days of judgement and about black peoples history.

Answer 3

Have you considered the reliability of the bible? Ignore for the moment the whole notion of God and just think about the book's content.

Some have claimed that the bible is no more accurate that Homer's Iliad. I respectfully disagree and the table shown at the link below clearly demonstrates my argument that the Bible is one of the most accurate sources for the events described in it.

Investigation will also reveal that there exists NO SINGLE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY that has been shown to prove error, factually or doctrinally, in the Bible. There is plenty of speculation and hypotheses, but not a single verifiable fact. To make this claim alone is quite a feat for ancient texts, but when you add to it the fact that the Bible was written over more than 1,500 years by forty vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology.

No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time. Most ancient writings written on weak materials like papyrus have vanished all together. Yet many copies of the Old Testament scriptures survived. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain all books of the Old Testament, except Esther, and have been dated to before the time of Christ. Consider Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Only ten copies written about 1,000 years after the event are in existence. In comparison, there are over 24,000+ New Testament manuscripts, the earliest one dating to within 24 years after Christ.

The Bible also validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed).

An honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the divine authorship of the Bible. Further, archeology confirms (or in some cases supports) accounts in the biblical record. No other holy book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its divine authorship.

Few fail to realize this and show their lack of knowledge in the historicity of the Bible by objecting when folks use the bible to support their own positions. While no one objects when a journal article or some popular book or media piece is quoted, there is always lots of flippant commentary when Christians use the bible as a reference.

When I examine the evidence on both sides, I can only rationally conclude that given the bible's accuracy on so many issues, I have no reason to doubt its validity on all issues it contains, especially when it speaks to God's divine revelations.

Answer 4

God didn't write the Bible, Man did. From the original version, I'm sure the interpertaion has been changed, but the main message is there. No matter what the religion, faith,or belief, the message is all about love. Loving each other, loving him, loving ourselves. What's wrong with that?

Answer 5

God did not write the bible man did

Answer 6

Better, how? And God didn't write the Bible.

Answer 7

What for? He's into making galaxies and star systems and maybe some really spectacular golf courses for games with some of the greatest past players. Do you really think he sits down to write some book?

Answer 8

Are you kidding,have you read the book of Ruth or Proverbs and even cared to sincerely want to understand,because if you have just read those 2 books there is no way that I am going to believe you wouldn't like them.I love them and I'll tell you why.
I have had to raise my kids on my own because their dad went AWOL and stayed in Germany and left us with no way to get support and at times those 2 books carried me through when nothing else would.

Answer 9

I am not sure that He wrote the Bible, But i am that He wrote the Vedas, and you can find in the Vedas, all information about God and His creation. The Bible and Quaran are like small pocket dictionary, the Vedas is like the international dictionary.

Answer 10

If "GOD" existed then yes it could. However, GOD does not exist and men wrote the bible and men did the best they could and that is a terrible, mixed up collection of hate and fear disguised as love and forgiveness, isn't it? That's the work of greedy, arrogant human beings.
